"I've been diagnosed with IDC = Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer"

[Lb128f]

The above title is the first line from a widget on Angellinda's (Linda's) CM page.

This is Linda and her DH, Gary. And, a link to Linda's page:

http://www.cafemom.com/home/Angellinda

She was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer a few days ago (just days after having a Mammogram, Ultrasound and Biopsy). The Doc's want to do one more biopsy to check her Lymph nodes...then, they will plan what course of action to take to get rid of her Cancer.

Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer:  http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/types/idc/

They have already told her that she WILL be having surgery (either a lumpectomy or a mastectomy), Chemo and Radiation (not necessarily in that order)...it all depends on if the Lymph nodes are involved.

She is terribly upset, concerned, scared and confused...all this has happened so quickly. I asked her if I could post about what's happening with her as a reminder to others to get regular Breast Exams. And, too because I am hoping that anyone who reads this will offer her well-wishes and prayers.

There is a widget on her page with the following links:

Additionally...I am hopeful that some of you may have information for her...whether that be first hand or from prior experience in helping someone who's gone through the same. Please feel free to comment or PM Linda -- or both! Thank you!
